No, these youngsters grew up here in Texas. Their Grandfather joined the GSDC Austin years ago. Then their Mother, Mary Golden, got involved with dogs. Mary Tripp was always close with this family and as the boys developed an interest in GSD, she taught them to groom and walk dogs and put them in the ring. Trevor started taking Mike Sherman's dog back in the ring and helped finish our GRCH Hearts on Fire. That was in 2010 and Trevor was Best Jr. at the National that year also and showed Hearts on Fire in Specials under Barbara Amidon- He put a Best of Breed on her last Saturday under Vicki Roye. Hearts On Fire and Trevor were the last bitch special excused at the 2010 National (I like to think of it as "Reserve Select _ Hee -Hee We got a Reserve Select On Spellbinder un Ed Barritt back in about 2003) Then Trevor moved to Oregon to live with his Dad for a year. But he missed his friends and the dogs and shows. So when his Father bought him a round trip ticket home last summer, he took it and only used the half to come home. Meanwhile, while he was gone, Mason started showing. He spent two weeks with us last summer and worked dogs and helped Bob build a roof over our deck. Then all last year he worked for Mary Tripp and helped train all her dogs and maintain the kennel. These young men are not just aged out Junior Handlers - They are true Dog Men - Yes, they still have a lot to learn, but they seem to be committed. Carol In a message dated 3/30/2013 3:36:03 P.M.
